Problem

A stunt motorcyclist attempts to jump a gap between two flat rooftops. The takeoff roof is 5.0 m5.0\,\text{m} higher than the landing roof. The horizontal gap between the buildings is 20 m20\,\text{m}. If the cyclist drives off the first roof horizontally, calculate the minimum takeoff speed required to land on the edge of the second roof. (Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2})
